Approximately 70% of the population in the semi-and arid tropics reside in rural areas and
depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Crop production is primarily focused on a few …

Comprised of three sections, this covers the nutrient dynamics and productivity of global
agroecosystems. It focuses on the major aspects that make up agroecosystems, such as …

Soil water conservation through tillage is widely accepted as one of the ways of improving
crop yields in rainfed agriculture. Field experiments were conducted between 2007 and …

Plants are often subjected to periods of soil and atmospheric water deficit during their life
cycle. The frequency of such phenomena is likely to increase in the future even outside …

The water-physical properties (bulk density, air conductivity, texture, water content, and
temperature dynamics) were studied in a chronosequence of soils developing on self …

El efecto del agua es uno de los fenómenos físicos más importantes para propósitos de la
agricultura, ecolog ía, ambiente e ingeniería. En el África Sub Sahariana, el agua es un …

In sub-humid regions, declining maize (Zea mays L.) yield is majorly attributed to unreliable
rainfall and high evapotranspiration demand during critical growth stages. However, there …

Enhancing water use efficiencies of rain-fed maize is a requirement for sustainable maize
production, particularly in areas prone to low/drought and erratic rainfall patterns. This study …

Soil management can notably influence crop production under rainfed farming; however,
improper soil management is one of the key factors threatening sustainability. The objective …

The impact of increasing rates of typically used mineral fertilizer on Rain water use efficiency
(WUE) and Radiation use efficiency (RUE) of maize grain yield and stover biomass …
